    We love Peanut Butter and Jelly in this house! How about you? It's such a comfort food for me, you know? And we have to have it on white bread! Don't get me wrong, I've been out of white bread and had it on toasted pumpernickel, rye, even biscuits, but soft white bread is how I grew up eating it. So I had the idea to make Peanut Butter and Jelly Cupcakes, and I think you'll agree, they are the bomb!

      These look really good. I'd like to try it. I have to make cupcakes for the teacher conferences at my sons school but I don't want to be rushing to make them the day of. Can these be made and filled a day or two in advanced? My fear is the jelly/jam would make the cake smooshy before they get them on Tuesday if I made them today (sunday) or Monday.

      I made these with my Daughter Kelly and I have to say that it is probably the best cupcake I have ever had. My wife even ate them and she hates everything I cook.
